Natural Climate Solutions in Massachusetts: How Landowners Are Using Wetlands, Farms, and Forests to Fight Climate Change General
Massachusetts Land Conservation Conference
UMass Amherst, MA
with Laura Marx of The Nature Conservancy Massachusetts Chapter and Sara Grady of Mass Audubon — Nature-based solutions involve using nature to solve a problem. How are land trusts and landowners working with nature in Massachusetts to solve the biggest challenge our planet faces – climate change? In this workshop, with something for the beginner and expert practitioner alike, we’ll discuss why natural climate solutions are a critical part of fighting climate change. You’ll learn how much they can do but also why we can’t tree-plant our way out of the climate crisis, what types of actions have the biggest potential impact in Massachusetts and what funding sources support natural climate solutions, and hear case studies from coastal wetlands, farmlands, and forests.
